1972 Gmc Jimmy Custom Sport Truck on 2040-cars
Helena, Montana, United States
The engine is the original 350 4bbl to the truck. It and the transmission had been gone through not too long
before the truck was no longer driven. It starts, runs and drives as it should. Everything under the hood is
correct. Everything on the engine is as it was in 1972. Correct date coded quadrajet which I did completely
rebuild, all correct brackets, spark plug wire looms, oil fillers, pulleys, brackets, air cleaner etc. I did of
course replace points, plugs, wires, cap, rotor etc. The air cleaner and a lot of other parts under the hood were
blasted and powdecoated satin black. I installed a new power steering pump, new lines, new rebuilt steering
sector box, new tie rod ends and sleeves new AC Battery, all new shocks, pretty much everything mechanical related
to the brakes front to back, Everything is in proper working order. I had the later 70's GM rally wheels
sandblasted and coated in the correct silver color, then wrapped in new BF Goodrich 33x12.50x15 All terrain TA
KO2's. All new center caps and trim rings of course on the wheels.
There is a brand new windshield and seal in the truck, new top glass weatherstrips, door opening weather strips
etc. etc. This K5 doesn't have so much or a rattle or squeak anywhere in it. The rear hatch has new
weatherstripping and shuts tight. You'll be amazed at how quiet this thing is compared to a lot of others.
I replaced i'd say every light bulb in the truck. Turn signals all work, I did instal a new turn signal switch in
the column so the signals now cancel after you turn a corner. Reverse lights, marker light, 4 way flashers, brake
lights all work. Heater works, original cigarette lighter works, high beam low beam lights work, doors lock and
unlock with the key, dash lights all work. The fuel tank was removed and cleaned, an NOS gm sending unit was
installed so the fuel gauge will work for another 50 years. The AC system is 100% complete and is still charged
with R12 freon. The system is in working order. The compressor makes some noise but does work. I had considered
buying a rebuilt compressor but don't know where I would find more R12 to recharge it. The system could be
converted to R134 if someone cares to do it.
The speedometer, oil, water, and volts gauges all work properly, the horn works perfectly. Also I installed a new
Comfort Grip steering wheel package designed for the 69-72 column.
I don't mean to bore anyone to death, I just want to be as thorough as possible while describing this truck. Other
than the tires, wheels, steering wheels, and 8 track stereo, this ole K5 is dead bone stock. And is so much fun to
drive and enjoy that way. If someone would like white steal wheels with original hubcaps and stock tires, that can
be arranged as well.

GM issues stop-delivery for 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon
Fri, 03 Oct 2014General Motors is issuing a stop-delivery order for its latest midsize pickups, the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, because the driver's side airbag might not be wired correctly. The total number of vehicles affected is still being determined.
According to the statement from GM, the problem, "affects the vehicles' two-stage airbag system by reversing the deployment sequence and disrupting the deployment timing of the driver airbag stages." That means in an accident the bag may not work correctly.
Most of the affected trucks are still on the assembly line, in transit or unsold at dealers, says GM. Until a way to repair the problem is found, customer deliveries are stopped. However, "a small number" of them are in the possession of buyers. GM is contacting these people by phone and by FedEx letter to have the vehicles returned to dealers. In the meantime, they'll be given a loaner to drive.
GMC wants to target Jeep with compact crossover
Mon, Dec 14 2015GMC execs might consider adding a Jeep competitor to the range, but rather than new rumors of a Wrangler-fighter, this time the Professional Grade brand could go after the Renegade. Division boss Duncan Aldred would like to broaden the brand's lineup with a subcompact crossover. "I keep telling everyone, 'How can General Motors' truck brand not be in the fastest-growing segment in the industry, an SUV segment," he said to Automotive News but wouldn't confirm whether the model was under development. General Motors already offers small crossovers like the Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore, but the CUV segment in general continues to drive auto sales in the US. Adding a similarly sized GMC to the mix might increase the automaker's volume by appealing to different customers. "A GMC buyer is very different from a Buick buyer. This is like comparing the Fiat 500X to the Jeep Renegade. They are very similar but appeal to different people," Dave Sullivan, Product Analysis Manager at AutoPacific, told Autoblog. Aldred started the speculation about a Wrangler-fighting model in an interview in late 2014, and the company reportedly even raised the idea of an offroad-focused vehicle to dealers to see how they reacted. The development process was only in the very early planning stages, but the brand considered using Hummer for a little of the new product's inspiration. Aldred later suggested to journalists the possibility of adding a compact or midsize SUV to the GMC range in the next 10 years to appeal to more buyers. He didn't comment directly on the possibility of the Wrangler-challenger at the time beyond saying: "I can't confirm that ... everything's on the table." Related Video:
GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside
Thu, 07 Aug 2014It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."
